Purchase Order Workflow with Change Management - Auto Approval Time

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by daxin

With change management on (we are using virtual companies, so we have to have change management on per vendor since Vendors are shared across legal entities & for Sales Orders to not have to go through PO approvals) is there a way to make the auto-approvals faster.  Right now it is 30seconds - 1 min and this is too long.  I read about creating a button on the demo job for workflows, but I don't believe it will any faster.  Plus we have many users that will be doing this and I saw that it can cause performance issues and they can clear cache accidentally.  Workflow is very simple: Is Project over budget and if the $ amount is over a certain amount.   I appreciate your ideas with this :-)

    Hi Cvandy.

    Workflow works on a batch progress so you will always have a pause before the approval takes effect. This would normally not be noticeable as the the person waiting for the approval is not the person making it.

    Can you maybe explain why 1 minute is too long? If you really have to have it immeditate you could code something directly on the "Submit" button to check your auto-approval conditions and in code set your record to approved.

    Thank you for your quick reply.   Yes, I understand it is a batch process, but it is still slow for auto approvals.   I understand it is a limitation of the system, however it is something that would help speed up the process.  These instances would be when the condition for auto approval is met, therefore the PO does not need to go to the manager for approval.  The PO submitter can just go ahead and begin receipt, delivery & invoicing.  Thanks for your help.

    Hi.

    As per above suggestion, you could code in a direct status change into your class behind the Submit menu-item. This would make your change immediate.
